| Christmas is for giving and sharing, for getting together with family and friends. But mostly it's for love. I had not believed this until a student, who was called Mark, gave me a wonderful gift one Christmas. Mark was an ll-year-old orphan (孤儿) who lived with his aunt, a middle aged woman greatly annoyed (使 烦恼) with the burden (负担) of 1 for her dead sister's son. I had not 2 Mark especially until he began staying after class each day to help me tidy up the room. We did this quietly, not speaking much, but enjoying the time of the day. When we did talk, Mark spoke mostly of his 3 , who had alwaya spent much time with him before she passed away. 4 Christmas came near, however, Mark failed to stay after school each day.

| The number of women over 65 who are still working has increased by more than a third in the past ten years. Do these women really like working? Women live longer than men, so they have to save more money for their retired (退休的) lives. Women earn (挣) less, so they save less. And they work few years because they have to look after children or elderly parents. How can we help women find a way to retire when they want to? Here are some thoughts: (1) Right now only 47% 0f working women take part in a company retirement plan. American business can do much more to help that number grow. (2) Knowledge is power (力量). 53% 0f women who have a retirement plan said they would increase their income (收入) if they had a chance to receive financial (财经的) education. (3) Non-working women can invest (投资) up to $5,000 every year to increase' their income. These ideas can help women work longer, not because they have to but because they want to.You can learn more about this topic and join in the discussion at www. wsj. retirement. com. |

| On a cloudy aftemoon last September, Rubio watched Texas National Cuard soldiers help passengers off planes at a small airport near College Station. All of them were running away from Hurricane (飓风) Ike. They had something else in common as well. Each passenger wore a bright yellow wristband (腕标), RFID, developed by Rubio's company. The wristband had a computer chip (芯片), which allowed the state's emergency response center (急救中心) to follow the person who wore it. "The wristband really made a difference," says Rubio, adding that thousands of families who called the state's emergency response center during the hurricane were able to find loved ones. The wristbands also made a lot of money for Rubio's company. That's a goal Rubio could not have imagined even a few years ago, as a 36-year-old stay-at-home mum with three kids under ten and a husband who traveled for work five days a week. "All I wanted was to have my family back together," she says. Rubio considered doing something different after the birth of her third child and returned to work. A friend suggested the technology of RFID. It wasn't new but was mainly used to find packages. Rubio began imagining wider use of RFID, and in 2005 the wristband appeared at a business conference and did a good job. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the company further used the technology, and later during Ike about 27,000 people were successfully saved. "I'm a mum with three kids or a woman in a technology field. I've succeeded and got confidence (信心)." Rubio also achieved something else. She finally has the family life she always wanted. |
| 1. People wore wristbands during Hurricane Ike in order to ________. |
| A. protect them from being hurt B. be allowed to get on the planes C. lead their way to a safe place D. be found easily by other people |
| 2. Rubio decided to return to work because ________. |
| A. she wanted to make money B. she liked the new technology C. she needed a change in life D. she was used to hard work |
| 3. How did the wristband work according to the passage? |
| A. Very well. B. All right. C. Not well. D. Very badly. |
| 4. What does Rubio think is the most important? |
| A. Usual business. B. Family life. C. Creat success. D. Social position. |

| When punctuation (标点) began, it was mainly to help people read out loud. Until a few hundred years ago, not many people were taught to read, so there was a lot more reading out loud by the few people who could. To help those reading out loud in the old days, sign (符号) known as "points" were added to pages of writing. Punctuation comes from the Latin word punctus, meaning "point". These points told readers when to pause (暂停) or take a breath, and what to emphasize (加重). In Europe from the early centuries AD, these points were widely used although not everybody used the same points for the same thing. When printing was invented, printers had to be made more clearly about what to put where, so that everyone was doing the same thing. Since that point, all sorts of punctuation rules have been discov ered and invented. Speech marks ".." Speech marks or quotation marks are used to show that someone is speaking. The sort we have in English today began to be widely used during the 18 century. Before that readers simply understood from the way a sentence was written that someone was speaking although sometimes spoken words were underlined. Comma, colon: period (full stop). All three of these sorts of punctuation marks were given their Greek names by Aristophanes, a librarian who lived in Byzantium in the 2'd century BC. They were marks on the page, each with a message to the reader. Comma meant a short pause. Colon meant a medium (中等的) sized pause. Period meant a long pause. Exclamation mark! In the early days of punctuation, if you saw this sign, you were supposed to pause. Some people think the exclamation mark began as what the Creek word JO looked like if it was turned 90 degrees. This word means"Oh, gosh!" With the I on the top and the O under it, the sign as we know it today was developed. Question mark? In the middle age, a squiggle (圆弧) above a full stop was sometimes used to show the sentence was a question and that a person's voice should go up at the end. By the 17" century it had turned into what we call a question mark. The shape may have come from the letter Q short for that Latin quaestio, meaning "question". Writers make choices about punctuation because they think differently about sentences and words. It's part of the personality of their writing. Some writers hate punc- tuation, but others love punctuation. So whether you love or hate punctuation, the best advice may be to just enjoy it, play with it, think about it and use it. It belongs (属于) to the language and it belongs to you. |
| 1. When did punctuation begin to be widely used, according to the passage? |
| A. In the 17th century. B. In the 2nd century BC. C. In the 18th century. D. In the early centuries AD. |
| 2. All punctuation rules were discovered and invented in order to ________. |
| A. help people read out loud B. meet the need of printing C. guide the way of writing D. mention the spoken words |
| 3. Which of the following is true? |
| A. A long pause comes after question mark. B. Speech marks were named by a librarian. C. Question mark comes from a Latin word. D. The shape of a word makes exclamation mark. |
| 4. What's the problem about punctuation today? |
| A. People have completely different ideas about it. B. Not many people are taught to use it correctly. C. It has different meanings to different people. D. Sometimes spoken words must be underlined. |

| People didn't use to throw things away. They used to mend their clothes and reused them until they wore out. When they bought things, they used to carry shopping baskets. But now we don't reuse things well and more rubbish has been produced. We throw away 25 million tones of waste in our dustbins (垃圾箱) every year. That means one family throw away about one thousand kilos of waste. We have a strong reason to take it as a serious problem! The fact is that lots of rubbish we throw away could be reused or recycled (回收利用). The so-called rubbish isn't really rubbish. The UK is one of the worst recyclers in Europe. In other words, in the UK, they're recycling only about 8% of their everyday waste. That's much less than many other countries. Germany recycles 10%, while Japan recycles 40%. The govemment has set a goal of recycling 30% of their everyday waste by the year 2010. But it looks that it is not easy to reach it. As we know, some habits are difficult to change and some collection plans are expensive to carry out. At present, the movement called Recycle Now in the UK tries to change that situation. The Top designer (设计师) Oliver Heath is a strong fan of the movement. In 2005 he designed the first home built completeiy from recycled things, including metal cans and glass bottles. "It always makes me excited when I make good use of those recycled things," he said, " Maybe in the near future, you can also make something from recycled computer printers, plastic bags, bottle tops or CDs." When his story was reported on TV, more and more people begin to try his ideas. Some local (地方的) govemments have set up recycling centres where it's easy for families to take their empty bottles and old newspapers. Instead of throwing away the so-called rubbish, some families start doing more about it. With the effort of the whole country, we are happy to see some progress in some places in the UK. |
